HEATING-DRUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 652,560, dated June 26,1900.

Application filed November 10, 1899- Serial No. 786,459. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, ROBERT LEE HoLLINGs- WORTH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Atlanta,'in the county of Fulton and State ofGeorgia, have invented a new and Improved Heating-Drum, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved heatingdrum or oven arranged for connection with an ordinary heat- I ing-stoveor kitchen-range and designed for heating andbaking purposes, forwarming dishes and the like, and without additional expensefor fuel.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claims.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement shown interposed betweena kitchenrange and a chimney, the latter being in section. Fig. 2 is anenlarged sectional side elevation of the improvement on the line 2 2 inFig. 3, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same on the line 3 3in Fig. 2.

The improved heating-drum is provided with a shell A, mounted on legs 13and interposed between a heating-stove or a kitchenrange 0 and a chimneyD, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The outlet-flue E of the stove or range Oconnects with the inlet of the shell A, at the upper end of the frontthereof, as

is plainly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and in the shell A, below thesaid inlet, is arranged a baking-oven F, extending from one side of theshell to the other and having a door F at the front of the shell. Belowthe baking oven F is arranged a transverse partition G, slightlyinclined in a rearward and upward direction, as is plainly shown in Fig.2, the partition terminating a suitable distance from the front end ofthe shell, said partition be ing located a distance above the top of achamber H, arranged in the bottom of the shell A. The chamber H extendsthroughout the length and width of the shell and is provided at one sideof the shell with a door H to give access to the chamber for placingdishes in the chamber to be warmed or for removing the warmed dishesfromthe chamber.

In the rear portion of the partition G is arranged an opening adapted tobe closedbya damper I, held on a shaft extending to one side of theshell, a handle I being at one outer end of the shaft to permit theoperator to swing the damper into a closed position, as shown in Fig. 2,or upward and forward into an open position, as indicated in dottedlines in Fig. 3.

Directly below the damper I, in the rear end of the shell, is arrangedan outlet for the smoke and gases, and which outlet is connected by apipe J with the chimney D, and below said outlet is arranged acleaning-door K for giving access to the top of the chamber H to allowof removing any soot that may accumulate on the top of the chamber. Whenthe damper I is in a closed position, the smoke and gases passing fromthe heating-stove or range C by way of the pipe I into the upper end ofthe shell pass over the top of the oven F, then around the rear end ofthe same and under the oven, above the partition G, to then travelaround the front end of the partition, and under the partition and overthe top of'the chamber H, to finally reach and pass the outlet and thepipe J, which conducts the smoke and gases to the chimney D. Thus itwill be seen that the smoke and gases while passing through the shell Athoroughly heat the oven F to permit of baking bread or other articlesof food in said oven whenever desired. It will be seen that the chamberH is heated by the outgoing smoke and gases, so that dishes or likearticles placed in the chamber become heated or warmed.

Then it is desired to decrease the heat inv the oven F and that in thechamber H, then the operator swings the damper I into an open position,so that the smoke and gases after passing over the rear end of the ovenF pass directly through the open damper to the pipe J and to the chimneyD.

The device is very simple and durable in construction and can be readilyconnected with an ordinary heating-stove or range to fully utilize theheat contained in the smoke and gases escaping from the heating-stove orrange.

Having thus fully described my invention,

and extending from one side thereof to the other, the top of the ovenbeing below the said inlet and the rear end of the oven being spacedfrom the rear wall of the shell, a trans- 5 verse partition extendingfrom the rear wall of the shell above the outlet and passing for- Wardbelow the bottom of the oven, andterminating short of the front end ofthe shell, and a heating-chamber in the lower part of the shell belowthe partition and outlet, substantially as described.

2. A heating-d rum, comprising a shell having an inlet near the top ofits front end and an outlet at the rear end, an oven in said shell andextending from one side thereof to the other, a door being at one sideof the shell, the top of the oven being below the said inlet and therear end being a distance from the rear end of the shell, a transversepartition below the bottom of the oven and terminating at its front enda distance from the front end of the shell, a damper at the rear end ofsaid partition above the outlet of the shell, and a dish-warming chamberin the lower part of the shell and extending throughout the length andwidth thereof, the top of the shell being a distance below the saidpartition and said outlet, as set forth.

3. A'heating-drum, comprising a shell having an inlet near the top ofits front end and an outlet at the rear end, an oven in said shell andextending from one side thereof to the other, the top of said oven beingbelow the inlet and the rear end being spaced from the rear end of theshell, a door for said oven at one side of the shell, a transversepartition below the bottom of the oven and terminating short of thefront end of the shell,the said partition being provided with an openingin its rear portion, a damper above the outlet of the shell and adaptedto close said opening in the partition, and a cleaning-door below theoutlet of the shell to give access to the space below the partition,substantially as described.
